BREAKING NEWS!!<\/p>\n

The poliovirus has been found in sewage samples from Gaza putting thousands of people living in crowded displaced persons\u2019 camps at risk of contracting the highly infectious disease that can cause deformities and paralysis.<\/p>\n

The Gaza ministry said tests carried out with the UN children\u2019s agency, Unicef, \u201cshowed the presence of poliovirus\u201d in the territory that has endured a devastating Israeli military offensive since the 7th October.<\/p>\n

The Israeli health ministry said poliovirus type 2 was detected in Gaza sewage samples tested in an Israeli laboratory. It said the World Health Organization had made similar findings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe presence of poliovirus in wastewater that collects and flows between displacement camp tents and in inhabited areas because of the destruction of infrastructure marks a new health disaster,\u201d the Gaza ministry said.<\/p>\n

It highlighted \u201csevere overcrowding\u201d and \u201cscarce water\u201d that is becoming contaminated with sewage and the accumulation of rubbish. The ministry said Israel\u2019s refusal to let hygiene supplies into Gaza \u201ccreates a suitable environment for the spread of different diseases\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe detection of poliovirus in wastewater threatens a real health disaster and places thousands of people at risk of contracting polio.\u201d<\/p>\n

UN agencies have been campaigning for four decades to eradicate polio, most often spread through sewage and contaminated water, but there has been a resurgence in recent years in Afghanistan and Pakistan and some isolated cases in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The ministry called for a halt to the Israeli offensive so that safe water can be brought in and sewage treatment can be restarted.<\/p>\n
